Soviet support couldn’t save Mengistu forever. By 1991, Ethiopia’s Marxist regime collapsed, and Somalia fell into civil war. Superpower rivalry left a legacy of conflict.
The Cold War redrew the Horn of Africa’s map, leaving scars that echo today. #HornofAfrica

The Horn of Africa was a Cold War chessboard. Ethiopia & Somalia were pawns in a U.S.-USSR power struggle that reshaped their fates. #HornofAfrica #ColdWar

Wanyoike was among those who interrogated and tortured JM Kariuki at the Hilton Hotel. He was also implicated in oathing, ethnic killings after Mboya's assassination, and property grabbing under Kenyatta's name. #KenyaHistory

When Pearson retired, Kenyatta replaced him with Wanyoike Thungu, a KANU youth winger turned Inspector of Police, described as a "symbol of impunity." He was a goon. #AfricanHistory
